<p>The Calgary Flames are a confident bunch these days. Even in games where they&#8217;re not sharp for the entire time, they&#8217;ve got good enough goaltending, structured enough defensive play and potent enough scorers that they can take games over.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly what happened on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flames weren&#8217;t perfect, but they ended up with a pretty good result in a 6-2 victory over Columbus.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>The rundown</strong></h2>
<p>The first period was pretty even, with both clubs getting their looks and both teams fighting the puck a little bit, too. The Flames opened the scoring a couple minutes into the game. After a dump-in, Adam Ruzicka and Milan Lucic crashed the corner area to retrieve the puck. Lucic fed the puck to the point for Erik Gudbranson, and his shot from the point found a way through traffic &#8211; and Elvis Merzlikins&#8217; pads &#8211; to give the home side a 1-0 lead.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The Flames added to their lead off a nice play and an unfortunate error. With the top line buzzing, Elias Lindholm began to cut to the net and tried to deliver a cross-slot pass. Defender Andrew Peeke attempted to block it, but the angle of his block swept the puck right into his own open net. That made it a 2-0 Flames lead.</p>

<p>But the Blue Jackets answered back before the end of the period. The Flames were caught up ice, Columbus forced a turnover and headed back on a three-on-two rush. They executed a very nice rush passing play, ending with a pinching Adam Boqvist beating Dan Vladar after collecting a rebound off a Patrik Laine shot to cut the Flames lead to 2-1.</p>
<p>Shots were 12-12 (all at five-on-five) and scoring chances 11-11 in the first period.</p>
<p>The Flames were all over Columbus in the second period, but the Jackets did a good job disrupting things at the last moment. Until late in the period that is.</p>
<p>Columbus tried to exit the zone with the Flames&#8217; top line buzzing, but Lindholm intercepted a clearing attempt at the offensive blueline. He fed Matthew Tkachuk and he and Johnny Gaudreau executed a nifty passing sequence, ending with a back-door tap-in for Tkachuk to give the Flames a 3-1 advantage.</p>

<p>The Flames added another one in the final minute of the second period. With Blake Coleman in the penalty box, Andrew Mangiapane corraled a loose puck and headed towards the Columbus zone on a two-on-one rush with Dillon Dube. Dube opted to shoot, beating Merzlikins glove-side to give the Flames a 4-1 lead heading into the intermission.</p>

<h2><strong>Why the Flames won<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>The Flames weren&#8217;t particularly bad at any point in this game, but they seemed to lack a bit of execution in the first period in all three zones and Columbus was able to take advantage of some lapses to generate zone time and scoring chances.</p>
<p>In the second period, the Flames tightened things up and took the game over.</p>
<h2><strong>Red Warrior</strong></h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s give it jointly to the first line, as they were superb tonight and probably should&#8217;ve racked up more than just the three goals they scored as a unit.</p>
<h2><strong>The turning point</strong></h2>
<p>The Flames never trailed in this one, but Dube&#8217;s shorthanded goal in the final minute of the second period was the goal that player sorely needed and also a gut-punch to a Columbus team that wasn&#8217;t nearly as bad as the score indicated.</p>
